Q: my 63 one ton axle bearing nut is 8 sided as opposed to hex. it is 2 3/4 sae. does anyone know where i can purchase a tool to remove and install this nut. tia. try a real auto parts store not one of the national chains but a locally owned store. also if you have a farm/tractor supply store in your area many have tools like this for heavy equipment. greg tractor supply will have it. -- moparman----remove clothes to reply... scud coordinates latitude 32.61208 degrees north longitude 96.92995 degrees west depth 17.35 inches .

greetings sorry for the cross-post but i wasnt sure which group would have the information i was looking for. i have two 8 3/4 3.55-1 ratio sure-grip rear axles that i took out of a couple early 70s dodge pickups before i junked them they were basket cases. heres my problem. i want to use the suregrips under a 78 dodge warlock 4x4 that im building. i can bolt one of them directly on the rear of the truck but the front axle is another matter. will the existing front housing accept the differential from a 8 3/4 i believe the current differential is a dana 44 if so would the axle shafts fit the suregrip or have to be resplined i could convert one of the rear housings into a front housing but then i would have to find a donor for the longer shaft. thanks in advance bill ...and on the other hand you have 5 fingers... .
